VPS36 Gene

Name

vacuolar protein sorting 36 homolog (S. cerevisiae)

Description

This gene encodes a protein that is a subunit of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport II (ESCRT-II). This protein complex functions in sorting of ubiquitinated membrane proteins during endocytosis. A similar protein complex in rat is associated with RNA polymerase elongation factor II.
